Musical interlude: Who’s zoomin’ who in Chicago?
Monday, Dec 3, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * With a big hat tip to Paris Schutz and Mary Ann Ahern, Toni Preckwinkle today filed challenges against three women candidates for mayor: Susana Mendoza, Dorothy Brown and Lori Lightfoot. Willie Wilson challenged two fellow African-American male candidates: La Shawn Ford and Ja’Mal Green; and one African-American woman: Dorothy Brown. So, Brown is now facing two challenges. Paul Vallas challenged Garry McCarthy. And Jerry Joyce challenged Bill Daley after some initial hesitation. Those escaping a ballot challenge today included Gery Chico, Jerry Joyce, Paul Vallas, Toni Preckwinkle, Amara Enyia and Willie Wilson. * On to the tune… …Adding… Lori Lightfoot…
…Adding… Daley…

*** UPDATED x1 *** Pritzker says he wants to settle Quincy veterans home case
Monday, Dec 3, 2018 - Posted by Rich Miller * WBEZ…
This case should’ve been settled a long time ago. *** UPDATE *** As it turns out, both JB Pritzker and I are unclear on the concept. The governor can’t settle these cases. Only the attorney general can do so. A “friendly” attorney general might have settled the Quincy cases early on to keep the nasty particulars out of view and protect the administration’s backside with confidentiality agreements. A not so friendly AG would allow the discovery process to advance until all the bad bits were known. So, it’ll be up to either AG Madigan in her final days or AG Raoul to get this thing settled.

It does look very serious, but Dorothy Brown has been under federal investigation for years and nothing has ever happened to her, even after the G seized her mobile phone three years ago. It’s the way the feds went about it that makes me so curious. This was a very public raid. They didn’t go the quiet subpoena route like they did in 2012, when a grand jury subpoenaed records from Burke. This time, they made their presence known. When they seized Brown’s phone, they just quietly showed up at her home with a warrant. They didn’t put brown paper over her office windows and dispatch a legion of federales in full view of reporters. * More…

“Long-planned.” (Update: I was shown a receipt that clearly indicates she booked that trip months ago. Also, the link has been restored to her website.) * Other stuff…
